The NYU College of Dentistry invites applications for a full-time, clinical non-tenure track faculty position at the level of Clinical Assistant or Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology, Radiology & Medicine. This diverse and collaborative department brings together faculty from multiple specialties in a collegial, scholarly environment dedicated to excellence in patient care, education, and research.
This faculty role is integral to advancing the College’s mission of delivering exceptional, compassionate dental care to individuals with disabilities and complex medical conditions. Because expertise in special care dentistry is not widespread within general practice, faculty with advanced training and experience in caring for patients with specialized healthcare needs play a particularly valuable role within the institution.
Primary responsibilities include providing patient care in a state-of-the-art facility; supervising and mentoring predoctoral and postgraduate students in both didactic and clinical settings; teaching within the department’s various clinical services; engaging in scholarly activity in oral medicine and/or special needs dentistry; providing clinical consultations; and overseeing care in the College’s Oral Health Center for People with Disabilities. The faculty member will help ensure that graduates are well prepared to deliver inclusive, patient-centered care to individuals with intellectual, developmental, physical, cognitive, behavioral, and medically complex conditions, including patients undergoing cancer therapy, organ transplantation, and other high-risk medical treatments requiring dental clearance.
Faculty in this role may also participate in the College of Dentistry faculty practice, providing specialized diagnostic and clinical care while contributing to the academic and educational mission of the institution.
In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $120,000 – $180,000. New York University considers factors such as scope of responsibilities, experience, education and training, key skills, internal equity, and market considerations when extending an offer.
Candidates must be sensitive to the needs of and possess an interest in working in a broad academic community with different viewpoints and backgrounds. Successful candidates will demonstrate a commitment to delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
Candidates must possess a DDS or DMD degree from an accredited dental program and demonstrate a strong commitment to providing comprehensive oral healthcare for patients with specialized healthcare needs, including individuals with developmental or physical disabilities and medically complex conditions.

Applicants should have at least five years of recent clinical experience in general dentistry and experience managing patients with medical complexity. Board certification by the American Board of Oral Medicine or the American Board of Special Care Dentistry is preferred but not required.
Eligibility for licensure to practice dentistry in the state of New York is required.
Experience or interest in treating patients with complex medical conditions, including dental oncology, is valued. Experience working in collaborative, interprofessional environments such as hospitals or academic settings is also appreciated.
